Entertainment Weekly has unveiled our first look at Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa in the upcoming Power Rangers film.

Interesting enough, Banks' appearance as Rita Repulsa (seen on the left) is vastly different from the Rita Repulsa (seen on the right) from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV series. Banks commented, "It's definitely a modern and edgy re-imagining of the original Rita Repulsa. We wanted to give her a backstory that connects her to the new Rangers."

As for the new role, it seems that she's very excited to play the part. Banks states that she's of course, looking forward to world domination and that this is the first time she played a villain, let alone an alien warrior.​Directed by Dean Israelite (Project Almanac) and written by John Gatins (Kong: Skull Island), Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama (Dracula Untold), Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller (X-Men: First Class), and Max Landis (Chronicle); it is produced by series co-creator Haim Saban, Brian Casentini (Power Rangers TV series), Wyck Godfrey, and Marty Bowen (The Maze Runner franchise).
